LIVE Gathering: Paws for Peace 🐾
The world feels unsettled. Our nervous systems feel it.
Fear spreads quickly. People are more reactive. The collective field feels tight.
Valentine’s Day is often framed as romantic love—but at its core, it’s about connection, belonging, and care.
Paws for Peace is not a workshop, class, or political space.
It is a collective gathering—a moment to pause, breathe, and reconnect with love in its most grounding form, supported by the regulating presence of animals.
A free, live, experiential space to:
Settle your nervous system during collective stress
soften fear-based reactivity
reconnect to safety, presence, and belonging
offer love to the planet through regulated connection
During this 45–60 minute collective gathering, you’ll be gently guided through:
🐶 a grounding arrival to help your body settle
🐶 a brief reflection on collective stress, regulation, and love as a nervous system state
🐶 a Pet Medicine journey through the 5 Paws — simple, accessible practices that support connection, gentle movement, presence, emotional release, and integration
🐶 pet-anchored regulation practices including breath, orienting, and calming touch
a closing integration you can carry with you beyond the gathering
🐶 No sharing required. Cameras optional. Participation is always by choice.
feel overwhelmed or tender in the current world climate
want to honor Valentine’s Day without pressure or performance
feel safer and more open with animals than with people right now
believe love begins in the body, not the story
All identities, beliefs, and relationship styles are welcome.

Your pet (or an imagined animal ally)
A quiet, comfortable space
A willingness to receive and offer gentle love
That's it!
Love doesn’t begin with romance or agreement.
It begins with safety in the body.
Animals help us remember how.
